Falling For You || Emmett Cullen

~ Nineteen ~

I paced back and forth in my room as I waited to hear Bella get up. I heard her feet hit the ground before I fixed up my room. I sped to the bathroom before putting on the colored contacts. I blinked a few times before skipping down the stairs. I sat on the couch with my dad as he squinted at a piece of paper in his hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked, facing him.

"I forgot that we have a fancy party to attend." He sighed, putting down the paper.

"Why we? Why not you?"

"Because it's a charity party. An all white charity party where we all have to wear nothing but white."

"Can I pass on that?"

"I second that." Bella said, making her way to the kitchen.

"No, we are going. Even if you hate me later on." He said before walking upstairs.

I groaned, leaning my head back.

"I only have one white dress and I don't want to wear it." I complained as Bella laughed.

"Come on, let's do it for dad at least. It won't be so bad. If everyone is going I assume Edward and Emmett are to." She teased as I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever. I'm doing this for dad, just because we put him through enough already." I said before climbing over to grab the piece of paper.

"What time is it starting?" She asked, cooking some eggs.

"Apparently all guests have to be there by 6, 6:30 the latest." I read before looking over at the clock.

"We have 4 hours to get ready." I said before flipping through the channels.

"How about you go shower now and get ready because we both know we need that four hours." She said with a soft laugh as I groaned.

"Fine. Fine." I put my hands up in surrender before jogging back upstairs.

I peeked my head in the bathroom before locking the door behind me. I took off my contacts, cleaning them off before storing them in their case. I took a quick warm shower before grabbing the contacts case and rushing to my room. I looked the door again before placing the case on my desk. I put on my undergarments before walking over to my closet.

I took out my white pointed toe heels before placing them by my bed. I then pulled out the only white dress I have that was backless and had a slit in the front on my right leg. The top portion of it was a bit more fitting while the bottom was very flowy. I decided to do something with my hair as I grabbed the hair dryer. I plugged it in before drying my hair completely.

I grabbed one of those hair donut things, placing it in front of my vanity. I sat down before brushing my hair out. I grabbed my straightener, straightening my hair rather quickly. I glanced at the time, seeing it was already 5:05. I groaned, pulling my hair into a ponytail before sliding on the donut. I wrapped my hair around it, pinning it down along the way.

I rushed over back to my closet, grabbing a white clutch before placing my phone in it. I pulled on the dress before putting my head through the neck thing that held my dress up. I adjusted the top before walking to my desk. I grabbed my contacts before sitting at my vanity again. I quickly put them on before hearing Charlie from downstairs.

"Are you guys almost done?! We're leaving in 2!" He shouted.

"Just need to put my shoes on!" I shouted back before sliding on my heels.

I grabbed my clutch from my bed before walking into the hall, meeting Bella.

"Wow, impressive." She teased as I gave her a little spin before taking a step back to look at her dress.

"Cute." I said, admiring her white beaded dress.

We linked arms before walking down the stairs. Charlie turned around in his white suit before smiling widely.

"You both look beautiful." He said proudly before grabbing his car keys.

"We're taking the cop car?" I asked, walking out with him.

"Of course." He boasted before we all got in.

I gripped onto my clutch tightly, feeling antsy for some weird reason.

Once we arrived at the venue I looked around in awe. It was absolutely beautiful. The whole place was white, even the chandelier. I bit on my lower lip before greeting some people. My eyes quickly caught Emmett's from across the room. A smile crept its way to my lips as we walked towards each other. I hugged him tightly before pecking his lips softly.

"Funny seeing you here." He joked as I rolled my eyes.

"You're cute." I teased back before intertwining our fingers.

"Let me go say hi to other people before my father gets mad." I sighed, giving a quick kiss on the cheek before walking around.

I walked over to the ice statue before meeting that too familiar smirk. I couldn't help but smile as Jasper walked to my side.

"Howdy, ma'am." He laughed as I nudged him.

"What do you want, Major Huckleberry? I asked.

"Well, seeing we're both bored of this party, why not go to the woods and have one of our lovely chats?" He asked, his drawl coming out.

"I don't know-" I started off.

"But I do." He smiled before grabbing my wrist and leading me out to the back door.

We sped into the woods as I held my dress up slightly. We laughed, stopping at a random tree before climbing it. We sat on one of the thick branches, looking up at the starry sky.

"What's it like?" I asked softly, keeping my eyes on the sky.

"What?"

"Knowing you have forever to do whatever you want."

"It's fun at first, but then you realize that everyone you once cared about has to go."

"Way to make this conversation depressing." I laughed softly.

"What is it like to know you have endless possibilities ahead of you?"

"It was honestly a bit scary, not knowing what might happen next."

"At least you could have fun, finding your soulmate."

"It's not necessarily fun with all the heartbreaks."

"At least people could love other people first then find the one they are meant to be with."

"I suppose that's one way of seeing it."

"What's the other way, Camilla?"

"Well, I always wanted to know who I was gonna spend the rest of my life with. I would pray and pray and pray for there to be a sign, you know? But that's just me." I laughed softly, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"It was probably a bad idea to go running and such in the woods, especially since we're wearing white." He chuckled before we jumped down from the branch.

"Probably not." I giggled before he held his arm out for me.

"We should probably get back before your father sends out a search party for you." He teased as I placed my hand on his forearm.

Jasper gave me his famous charming smile before speeding off with me on his side as I held my dress up again.

"Do I have anything on my dress?" I asked, turning around before he wiped off some twigs and such off me.

"What about me?" He asked as I swiped off the twigs off him.

"Let us go enjoy this...I guess." He smiled once more before we snuck back in.
